Jozi Chat, 30th of October

The fourth Jozi Chat of 2010 is scheduled on the 30th of October, a saturday, at 14:00/2PM UTC on TNN.

Jozi is the owner of Simcountry. He participates in these sessions to receive and comment on player input. So, if you would like to discuss and offer suggestions or report bugs in real time, this is the time to do so.

This meeting will take place at:
- New York: 10AM
- Los Angeles: 7AM
- London: 3PM
- Amsterdam: 4PM


This chat will happen on a IRC server and, as such, you will need an IRC client in order to be present. One of the clients you may use is mIRC or ChatZilla.

Once you have one of the client set-up, in the lower bar, type:
1. /server simnews.mine.nu
2. /join #jozichat

If you are having problems setting this up, you can use the webclient.

Countdown clock.
Time around world.

wo0t wo0t!

Question for the Chat:

Any news on new world?

Ummm you usually would ask that, at the chat.

sc dont need another world just yet, its got to figure out if these war levels are really worth it
besides jozi's got other plans haha

WOOT WOOT!!!

i thought the last Jozi chat was AMAZING!!!

I'm really looking forward to this next chat

*puts thinking cap on*

lol

If anyone has the time, could you mention that AQU and WQU order strategies still don't work.

Thanks.

Hm I have 20 cargo shuttles. Is anyone opposed to being able to order bulk actions. Like loading all of them with a certain product instead of manually loading them one by one?

SUPER!

How dare you put on your thinking cap!
I always put my thinking cap on!

*Put thinking cap on*

Today.

Wendy, Ill second that motion. too much clicking so all my shuttles are getting rusty..

Yes, I don't see logs for the chat, I think LG is/was busy, he left chat fast after the chat yesterday. Jozi said he agrees and already wanted to add that kind of function. In the meantime, the best possible suggestion should be given while we have time before they implement it.

My example is that shuttles operate similar to Cargo Planes. In one instance I want to... say load all of my shuttles with x product. Then another instance send them all to x location, instead of one by one.

An alternative, I think may be even better and proly server friendly is where I can input x amount of y product, and then send the product and quantity itself to a location/destination with the shuttles doing the running like cargo shuttles do for disaster supplies. An example would be send 10000 lbcmissiles from my space center to my space station or whatever other space center I want them sent to. Then the shuttles move them until the task is finished, hands off.

Just makes more sense to me. And my fingers, and my mouse, and my browser cache.

Oh, lets not forget that I can load 75 of any given large weapon type, then have to unload at 50 max. So I have to actually click twice per offload, per shuttle.

Weapons Transfer:

[16:46] (@Jozi) we intend to allow weapons transfers to your account and you will be able to move them back to another country.
[16:46] (@Jozi) this will make the direct transfer between countries in the empire obsolete.

Am I reading this upgrade correctly. We will be able to move our weapons to our direct account?
So this will allow us to move weapons between worlds and bypass the space game.

Will this also include moving weapons from our CEO to the direct account?

Depending on the products, some will be transported using shuttles.
we will make sure that large transports can be automated before we add these products to the space trading.

My wish is to automate all the space trading.

Just a thought. This transfering of weapons between worlds could give an unfair war advantage to multi-world players over single world players.

Picture this: Two players matchup evenly on WG world, with both being @ war level 4... One player has multi-world armies and the second player only plays on WG. Now add to the mix the multi-world players fleet of space shuttles filled with weapons and the war could become a complete mismatch.

I open the floor for comments.

Use war protection if you dont want war.

How many more times?

Its what its there for.

All this nonesense over war levels,it needs scrapping.

Easiest way to avoid war is....

1, use wp
2, leave the politics and mind games alone.
3, or build adequate defences.

= no mismatch

Yoda,

This is not a WP issue.

The example is two war oriented players at level four. (Not me)

"3. or build adequate defense"
The example I bring up assumes the WG only player has adequate defenses when matched against his/her opponent on a one world basis. The mismatch comes from the multi-worlds players fleet of space shuttles filled with weapons.

The choice and/or ability to play one or more planets is still up to the player. They can change their minds at their own discretion.

For a non war player Maestro, you have some very strong opinions on war. I think you need to get in the fight to give weight to your opinions.

Hold up! did jozi say they might add forts to the list of targets that can be hit with a tact nuke. Great 100 more targets to have nuke defenses in . Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I agreed i love the idea but Nuke defence is costly maybe cut the needed amount of troops for NDB by 15% or higher need be that should counter the cost

cut this,cut that,lower wp.....bah

learn the econ side of the game, pay for what u need.

it isnt that hard,all the info u need is in the forums.

take a trip to chat,there are more than enough willing to point u in the right direction.

its about time u ppl learn how to pay for what your country needs, e1 wants it handing to them on a plate.

rant over

@ maestro

it should be irrelevent what worlds anyone plays.
If you have your econ in place and adequate defences, fight.
